“At the Bowery the ‘Crimson Shield,’ with its attendant nymphs of the rainbow,’ is nightly drawing crowded houses and has satisfactorily demonstrated that the Bowery, as well as Broadway, is capable of appreciating and supporting a ballet. The piece will be continued throughout the week.”
“The spectacle of the ‘Crimson Shield,’ which has proved to be a decided hit, was presented again last night at the Bowery theatre. The house was crowded in every part by an audience that, if not very critical, was most appreciative. The principals in the piece were loudly applauded, as they deserved. The extravaganza is really good, the scenery is excellent and the music is well selected.”
